D H you're not going to attempt to explain it for us less wise beings lol? I'm still curious! Also what in the world is the average age of users on this forum? Are most people here grad students or professors??

Very interesting question. I would probably approach it from this end: 1) Figure out how many individual people (each with a single coin) it would take to have them all flip their coin at the same time and count the results, such that each time they do this the result is very nearly 50/50...

I just did, thanks for pointing it out :)

Yeah this is actually from my professor's slides, technically not the book verbatim but this is how she summarized it. The book actually shows something like what you described and I kind of get that though it's a bit tricky to follow. Anywho, thanks for the replies, I guess the real problem...

I'm not so sure about that arildno but I suspect this has nothing to do with the wavefunction. The reason being is because in all other integrals like this in QM, instead of having the (partial dx)/(partial dt) term in the middle, you have something totally different like, for example say, just...

Ok so first off, thank you everyone for the replies, I don't feel so bad anymore about not getting this haha :P. Secondly, it's become very obvious to me that the author did some serious "hand-waving" here because the book doesn't even attempt to explain how in the world that term goes away. I...

Hello Everyone, So in other words, if you didn't understand what I'm saying from the title of this post, look at it this way: What is the answer to this integral? ∫(partial dx)/(partial dt) * dx According to my textbook the answer is 0 but I'm getting easily confused as to how this is...
